Face Lace

The founder of Face Lace - Phyllis Cohen - is a makeup artist famous for her intricate designs. She has done advertising campaigns for big companies such as Clinique, Revlon, Vichy and the Body Shop, and has become the favorite makeup artist for extravagant characters such as Annie Lennox, Steve Strange and David Bowie. Already during the 80s she started creating face appliqués out of latex, fabric, beads and rhinestones, which has been the inspiration for Face Lace. Face Lace are ready-to-wear makeup designs that will make it look like you've spent hours in front of the mirror, although they actually just take a minute to apply. A quick - and not expensive at all - way to change your look. I love these...

Dreamchaser Lace Duster

I just bought myself the perfect black lace duster! It's from Hellaholics - a Scandinavian brand and online store, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. They find their inspiration in vintage treasures, starry nights, music, and generally fabulous chicks from all walks of life. They aim to create a collection of garments and jewelry that embodies fearlessness and fun, things that gives you that instant attitude, yet are easy to wear. And here is my new duster!

It's made of sheer black lace with embroidered details, and has cap sleeves. Although I'm just wearing lingerie underneath it here to show it off better, this is one of those pieces of clothing you can wear in so many ways! Throw it over any outfit to make it a bit more interesting. Use a belt and wear it as a dress. Or just over your lingerie while at home...or going grocery shopping. Haha!

It comes in sizes small, medium and large, and although I'm usually an extra small, the small one fitted me perfectly! It's called the Dreamchaser Lace Duster, and you find it here!

The design is characterized by symbolic figures, unexpected twists and thought provoking contrasts... After graduating from renowned arts college Central Saint Martins in 2007 Maria started her brand right away, creating all her jewelry by herself. Since then her business has grown as demand for her pieces increased.
